53    '''This class extends pexpect.spawn to specialize setting up SSH
54    connections. This adds methods for login, logout, and expecting the shell
55    prompt. It does various tricky things to handle many situations in the SSH
56    login process. For example, if the session is your first login, then pxssh
57    automatically accepts the remote certificate; or if you have public key
58    authentication setup then pxssh won't wait for the password prompt.
59
60    pxssh uses the shell prompt to synchronize output from the remote host. In
61    order to make this more robust it sets the shell prompt to something more
62    unique than just $ or #. This should work on most Borne/Bash or Csh style
63    shells.
64
65    Example that runs a few commands on a remote server and prints the result::
66
67        from pexpect import pxssh
68        import getpass
69        try:
70            s = pxssh.pxssh()
71            hostname = raw_input('hostname: ')
72            username = raw_input('username: ')
73            password = getpass.getpass('password: ')
74            s.login(hostname, username, password)
75            s.sendline('uptime')   # run a command
76            s.prompt()             # match the prompt
77            print(s.before)        # print everything before the prompt.
78            s.sendline('ls -l')
79            s.prompt()
80            print(s.before)
81            s.sendline('df')
82            s.prompt()
83            print(s.before)
84            s.logout()
85        except pxssh.ExceptionPxssh as e:
86            print("pxssh failed on login.")
87            print(e)
88
89    Example showing how to specify SSH options::
90
91        from pexpect import pxssh
92        s = pxssh.pxssh(options={
93                            "StrictHostKeyChecking": "no",
94                            "UserKnownHostsFile": "/dev/null"})
95        ...
96
97    Note that if you have ssh-agent running while doing development with pxssh
98    then this can lead to a lot of confusion. Many X display managers (xdm,
99    gdm, kdm, etc.) will automatically start a GUI agent. You may see a GUI
100    dialog box popup asking for a password during development. You should turn
101    off any key agents during testing. The 'force_password' attribute will turn
102    off public key authentication. This will only work if the remote SSH server
103    is configured to allow password logins. Example of using 'force_password'
104    attribute::
105
106            s = pxssh.pxssh()
107            s.force_password = True
108            hostname = raw_input('hostname: ')
109            username = raw_input('username: ')
110            password = getpass.getpass('password: ')
111            s.login (hostname, username, password)
112
113    `debug_command_string` is only for the test suite to confirm that the string
114    generated for SSH is correct, using this will not allow you to do
115    anything other than get a string back from `pxssh.pxssh.login()`.

264
265        It uses
266        'original_prompt' to try to find the prompt right after login. When it
267        finds the prompt it immediately tries to reset the prompt to something
268        more easily matched. The default 'original_prompt' is very optimistic
269        and is easily fooled. It's more reliable to try to match the original
270        prompt as exactly as possible to prevent false matches by server
271        strings such as the "Message Of The Day". On many systems you can
272        disable the MOTD on the remote server by creating a zero-length file
273        called :file:`~/.hushlogin` on the remote server. If a prompt cannot be found
274        then this will not necessarily cause the login to fail. In the case of
275        a timeout when looking for the prompt we assume that the original
276        prompt was so weird that we could not match it, so we use a few tricks
277        to guess when we have reached the prompt. Then we hope for the best and
278        blindly try to reset the prompt to something more unique. If that fails
279        then login() raises an :class:`ExceptionPxssh` exception.
280
281        In some situations it is not possible or desirable to reset the
282        original prompt. In this case, pass ``auto_prompt_reset=False`` to
283        inhibit setting the prompt to the UNIQUE_PROMPT. Remember that pxssh
284        uses a unique prompt in the :meth:`prompt` method. If the original prompt is
285        not reset then this will disable the :meth:`prompt` method unless you
286        manually set the :attr:`PROMPT` attribute.
287
288        Set ``password_regex`` if there is a MOTD message with `password` in it.
289        Changing this is like playing in traffic, don't (p)expect it to match straight
290        away.
291
292        If you require to connect to another SSH server from the your original SSH
293        connection set ``spawn_local_ssh`` to `False` and this will use your current
294        session to do so. Setting this option to `False` and not having an active session
295        will trigger an error.
296
297        Set ``ssh_key`` to a file path to an SSH private key to use that SSH key
298        for the session authentication.
299        Set ``ssh_key`` to `True` to force passing the current SSH authentication socket
300        to the desired ``hostname``.
301
302        Set ``ssh_config`` to a file path string of an SSH client config file to pass that
303        file to the client to handle itself. You may set any options you wish in here, however
304        doing so will require you to post extra information that you may not want to if you
305        run into issues.

455        set the :attr:`PROMPT` attribute to a regex that it will use for
456        matching the prompt.
457
458        Calling :meth:`prompt` will erase the contents of the :attr:`before`
459        attribute even if no prompt is ever matched. If timeout is not given or
460        it is set to -1 then self.timeout is used.

476        unambiguously. This method is called automatically by the :meth:`login`
477        method, but you may want to call it manually if you somehow reset the
478        shell prompt. For example, if you 'su' to a different user then you
479        will need to manually reset the prompt. This sends shell commands to
480        the remote host to set the prompt, so this assumes the remote host is
481        ready to receive commands.
482
483        Alternatively, you may use your own prompt pattern. In this case you
484        should call :meth:`login` with ``auto_prompt_reset=False``; then set the
485        :attr:`PROMPT` attribute to a regular expression. After that, the
486        :meth:`prompt` method will try to match your prompt pattern.
